OUR STORY

The original Snuggery opened in 1970 on North Avenue in Chicago, catering to young singles. By 1974, we had become the epicenter of a suburban club scene that exploded in the 1980s, where yuppies danced under disco balls, sipped peach schnapps, and reveled in the glow of music videos and neon lights.

The Snuggery wasn’t just a bar—it was a cultural pivot point. It helped redefine what nightlife could look like outside the city limits, and it left a lasting imprint on the social fabric of suburban Chicago.


Today, The Snuggery is still a favorite spot on the Fox River for locals and visitors alike. If you’re looking to soak up some riverside charm, The Snuggery in McHenry delivers. This spot is all about casual vibes with a scenic twist—think boats drifting by, a breeze off the water, and a cold drink in hand.
